Clear sky confession

[Alan White]

Last night when I got up for a nocturnal visit to the bathroom about 2am, 
I looked out and it was fairly clear.

For a moment I thought let’s go observe….
Then the warm bed called and I went back to the land of zzzzzz

Now regretting my call as it’s cloudy again this morning, typical

I think most of us have similar experiences.  myself personally just the other night about 12-15 am and -5 degrees.

On Thursday night my imaging session was regularly interrupted by passing cloud. After the third lot I gave up and shut everything down. After locking up I looked up and of course it was crystal clear, an inky black sky and a distinct Milky Way visible. I’m ashamed to say I went to bed cursing the UK weather.

Sometimes you just can't be bothered. Think it's been a month now for me, last week there was potential for a good AP run but clouds wouldn't disappear until around 11 and I refuse to setup unless there's a clear few hours forecast, so I thought leave it. All the while my target is mocking me as it slowly drifts out of altitude.

Im not a late night imager, if it isnt going to be clear from sun set then I wont set up. I cant stand being up to late love my bed to much! but recently as age has crept up on me I have been visiting the bathroom more often in the night and popping my head outside  only to see clear skies when before I went to bed it was just clag! I think I should find another hobby!

Although I could set my imaging rig to start when it's supposed to be clear and shut down afterwards the forecast has been so unstable that I didn't bother last night.

I left my rig pre setup in the hope I could get at least two more 1 hour sessions to finish a target (needs to be at a specific time which further exasperates the issue). Nope. Weather's been awful this year so I packed it all away.
